It’s not like it’s used up or anything, and when it’s put back into the river, it’s actually drinkable.

Right. The resources that are actually being used is all the stuff to treat the lake/river water and the wastewater.

Places that produce cotton tend to have plenty of water. They aren’t depriving anyone of drinking water.

A cautionary tale: The disaster of the Aral Sea caused by cotton growing.
